ᐅ How wide is a container truck?

Hello everyone, I have a somewhat unusual question, but maybe someone here can help—ideally a truck driver experienced with containers:

Our driveway is not very wide, but a VW Golf fits through comfortably with some space on both sides. A small wall and a metal post form the entrance. If necessary, I would need to widen this opening.

I want to place a container in the yard because the closer it is to the house (or under the first-floor terrace), the fewer trips we have to make with the debris buckets.

Maybe someone here knows the total width of a container truck—not just the container size, but the truck as well? That would be great!

Thanks in advance and best regards

I would estimate about 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches).

According to traffic regulations, maximum 2.55 m (8 ft 4 in).

Thank you, that should work!

I need to measure the clear width of the driveway precisely. It should be at least 3.00 m (10 feet) wide to allow the truck to pass through. Otherwise, the driveway will be adjusted accordingly.

Does it really have to go all the way through, or can it just be dropped off in a roll-off container? But if you can manage 3 meters (10 feet), it shouldn’t be an issue.
